Firm faces ongoing battles over workers’ rights and unpaid waiting times after drawing in drivers with huge subsidies

GMB Union has launched legal action against ride-hailing company Bolt, taking it to an employment tribunal over the status of its drivers.

Bolt drivers' worker status is set to be challenged at an employment tribunal, while drivers stage a strike over pay.

Smaller grassroots unions have criticised Deliveroo and GMB for making a “hollow” deal that will ultimately undermine workers’ self-organising efforts.

The union said it will also be able to represent individual riders who are GMB members in disputes.

The GMB has struck an agreement with Deliveroo which will give its 90,000 self-employed riders better rights on pay, benefits and in employment disputes.
